a very praying-type person

"People often ask me whether I'm a praying person, and I say I was lucky enough to be raised in a praying family

Yes, but ...

"... and learned to say my prayers as a very young child

Yes, but ...

"... and remembered seeing my late father by the side of his bed until his very last days saying his prayers.

Yes, but ...

"So I was fortunate. But I also say that had I not been a praying person, that after I'd been in the White House for a few months, I would have become a praying person."

I repeat the question.
